What unstoppable weight loss motivation feels like. I want to take you through a simple thought experiment that's going to let you experience firsthand what real, genuine motivation to lose weight feels like. Now, I want you to think of the person in your life who you love the absolute most. And I want you to imagine that someone kidnapped them. And the kidnapper said, if you don't lose weight in the next month, you will never see this person again. On a scale of 1 to 10, how motivated would you be? Now, let's take it a step further and imagine the kidnapper also said, I'm also going to fill your house with all your favorite foods. I want you to take a second and really put yourself into this situation. Even surrounded with all your favorite foods, how tempted would you be to eat them in that scenario? Now, I want you to remember that feeling, because this proves the point that when you make a true, genuine decision to do something, it makes everything else easier. And in that situation, because you were 100% fixated and focused on getting that person back into your life, all of a sudden, those foods, tempting foods, just disappear. So when you make a real decision, weight loss becomes easy.
